ECHO IN CAMERALuminary theatre artist Roman Paska returns to the New York stage with the premiere of Echo in Camera, exploring the relationships between hearing, understanding and identity in a “little mental drama” that recasts the Orpheus legend as the journey of a divided puppet protagonist through the netherworld of his own imagination to retrieve a missing other.Echo in Camera runs November 8 - 17th at the Ellen Stewart Theatre.Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for students and seniors. A limited number of $10 tickets are available, in advance only, as part of La MaMa's 10 @ $10 ticketing initiative.For tickets and info: Click Here

THE ORPHAN CIRCUSIn Les Sages Fous' The Orphan Circus, two junk peddlers create a small circus of visual tableaux evoking the life of a cabaret troupe of derelicts and misfits. This wayward troupe is ruled with an iron fist by the mysterious impresario Monsieur. P.T. Issimo. This is a place where the gruesome become the beauties and even impossible love can be fulfilled. The Orphan Circus runs November 7th - 10th at La MaMa's First Floor Theatre. Tickets are $18 for adults and $13 for students and seniors. A limited number of $10 tickets are available, in advance only, as part of La MaMa's 10 @ $10 ticketing initiative.For tickets and info: Click Here

ARE THEY EDIBLE?

Jeanette Oi-Suk Yew's Are They Edible?, a multi-sensory puppetry performance inspired by Homer’s epics, The Iliad and the Odyssey, takes place in an interactive setting where food consumption is used to engage the audience in a tactile discourse on the relationship between war, heroes, and hunger (or the urge to consume). Read our interview with Jeanette here.

Are They Edible? runs November 7th - 10th at The Club at La MaMa.

Tickets are $18 for adults and $13 for students and seniors. A limited number of $10 tickets are available, in advance only, as part of La MaMa's 10 @ $10 ticketing initiative.
